Conversely, I think it's possible that the protesters and the shooter combined gave Serena and Fred the resolve, drive, and political capital to go literally nuclear with their plans for a country on a hill. If they'd been peacefully ignored perhaps they'd have faded into obscurity.

Except the problem with that reading is that it's not just Serena and Fred driving this thing. Hell even the two, while part of the elite, aren't the top dogs in Gilead society. To blame the protesters for contributing doesn't match what the show has been telling us. There was a large cabal of these assholes.

A big part of the show is a condemnation of people with liberal values, but don't go out there and fight for them until it's way too late.
